USER GUIDE
GENERAL HANDLING
In order to maximize their life cycle, we advise our customers to treat empty as well as filled bottles with care. Repeated drops, knocks and scratches of the bottle, improper use of temperature and cleaning agents and bad storage can lead to cracks and therefore considerably reduce the life of the bottles.
PALLETISATION
Repeated vibrations and load points during transport can shorten the life of the bottles if not stacked properly. Ideally, we recommend the use of racking systems when transporting filled bottles. These systems will ensure that bottles are individually separated and that no point loading occurs. Vertical stacking of bottles on a pallet is another option, always using rigid boards between layers to achieve equal distribution of the weight and wrapping (even banding) the stack for more stability during transport. We do not recommend the stacking of bottles more than 3 high otherwise their life cycle could be reduced.
CLEANING & DETERGENT
Customer research reveals that improving both the hygiene and the image of the polycarbonate bottles by improved cleaning and reduced stress cracking increases the consumer preference and loyalty for the brand. Polycarbonate bottles are made of the toughest of all thermoplastics. Polycarbonate is crystal clear, rigid, non-toxic and virtually unbreakable. It is the ideal material for reusable large bottles.
STRESS CRACKING
Alteration and whitening of the polycarbonate bottle, reducing its lifetime. This is the result of incorrect detergent choice and control problems during the detergent applications.
CLEANING
Polycarbonate has a limited resistance to acids and alkalis thus the cleaning and disinfecting products used on polycarbonate bottles should be carefully formulated and selected in order to avoid the above mentioned problems, whilst giving the level of hygiene your customers require and also optimizing your cleaning and disinfection costs, to your benefit.
